I found this while browsing the net and thought it would be usefull for aour members.
So, you're in the Hard Rough and you know you can never get it out right! DAMN! Well, here's the solution!
Take the distance to the pin and multiply by 1.3 and then use your charted 9 or 8 iron to make the shot.
DISTANCE TO PIN * 1.3 - USE CHARTED 9 IRON
For instance, lets say you are 71y from the pin. Multiply that by 1.3
and you get 92.3. For me as of this writing, this is a 9i at 56.5%. If
the lie is not flat you need to adjust accordingly. 1-2% generally is
enough either way to compensate. You just need to practice the shot.
Once you learn that, sand shots are easier too. You do the same thing,
except use your AW for that charted distance. Just subtract about 1-2%
hehe! Easy peasy!
